About Marion Wilson

We have lived in the village for over 40 years, and love to welcome visitors to our cosy peaceful home for their holiday, and have a wealth of local knowledge to enable you to enjoy your stay here.

Marion Wilson purchased this apartment in 2000

Why Marion Wilson chose West Lakes & Cumbrian Coast

We built this house ourselves, and the apartment has been available for letting for over 10 years, with many people coming back year after year to enjoy walking the fells, or just relaxing and exploring the lakes, coast, and local towns.

What makes this apartment unique

In a small rural village, we are just 5 miles from Cockermouth, and within easy reach of the Northern lakes, Loweswater within 4 miles, Buttermere and Crummock a short drive away. Keswick only 20 miles away. A wealth of wildlife in the extensive gardens, with a variety of birds and even red squirrels feeding just outside the window. A stream with packhorse bridge, pond and woodland path all there for you to enjoy when you arrive. We live on the premises and will be here to welcome you.

Notes on accommodation: Welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk and biscuits. No smoking, sorry no dogs. Outside: Over 1 acre of garden with woodland, pond and stream, with several seats for morning coffee and table and chairs on the patio looking over the fells for your evening glass of wine.. Cleaning / Towels / Linen / Maid service: Bedding, towels included, changed on request. Cleaned weekly by the owner before each visit. Laundry service provided. Electricity and heating included. Other: Entrance hall with boot rack.

Lovely apartment in a great location.

Marion & John made us feel very welcome here for our weeks holiday in Treetops. The apartment was clean and very comfortable for the pair of us and an ideal location for the northern lakes and beyond. Surrounded by well maintained gardens and with the beautiful weather we were spoilt. Would definitely stay here again when visiting the area.

A cosy apartment in a beautiful setting.

I stayed here for 4 weeks whilst on a work placement. The lovely clean and warm apartment with very accommodating hosts meant it felt like a home from home. Marion is polite and friendly and went out of her way to ensure I enjoyed my stay. The grounds around the apartment are beautiful, the village is lovely and there is a pub with excellent food in the next village (Dean) which you can walk to. I highly recommend a stay here as it is excellent value for money, close to Cockermouth and Keswick and ideal for exploring the stunning West lakes area.

Owner's Response: Thank you Anna for your kind remarks. We try to make our visitors stay as comfortable as possible, so it's nice to know we are getting it right after over 10 years of experience. We hope to make the apartment somewhere we would like to be if we were on holiday, and of course our lovely surrounding area is hard to beat for scenery. We hope you have a successful career after all your studies Anna, and once again thank you for spending the time to write a review for us.

Very comfortable apartment in convenient location for North Western Lake District area.

My wife and I stayed at Treetops for a week during the autumn. The apartment was warm and comfortable and very convenient for day trips. Marion & John (our hosts) were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The tourist information in the apartment had plenty of great ideas for days out and Marion kindly lent us her OS maps. Lots of little extras were provided (milk, tea, chocolates, orange juice, fruit, wine etc.) which was a pleasant bonus.

Located about 5 or so miles from Cockermouth this location is absolutely ideal for exploring the North Western Lake District area (Keswick, Loweswater, Buttermere, Crummock, Bassenthwaite, Ennerdale and Derwent Water etc.).

Staying in the Autumn we did of course run the risk of having bad weather, however we didn't and the autumn colours were fantastic.

Peter & Margaret.

Owner's Response: We love to make people welcome to our home and the unspoilt Northern part of the Lakes, away from the hustle and bustle of Windermere. We hope to give a warm and hospitable welcome, just as we would like to find if we were on holiday, and even if the weather isn't good there is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area.

Lovely little apartment in a great location

We stayed in Treetops for a few nights and loved it. The Wilson's were brilliant hosts and made us feel very welcome, and the tourist information pack in the room had plenty of great walk ideas. Located a few miles from Cockermouth, and about 30 mins drive from Keswick, Buttermere and Ennerdale it was great for day trips.

Although we stayed in winter, in the warmer months it would be a lovely, peaceful place for sitting out in the garden on a night time to relax.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your lovely comments. It's always nice to know visitors have enjoyed their stay, and we hope to see you again sometime when the weather is better!

Lovely - would stay there again!

The apartment was a perfect base for the two of us to explore the Western Lakes. Kitchen, bedroom and living room were everything we needed and we appreciated the extra touches and the bird table outside. The Wilsons were friendly and helpful hosts. The only (minor) issue was the bathroom facilities were quite noisy after use.

Holiday 2014

John & Marion have always made us feel very welcome & their hospitality is 2nd to none, the appartment is always very clean & homely. 2014 was the 4th year in a row that we have stayed with them & we are currently looking at staying their in August / September 15. There is always a bottle of wine, milk, chocolates & fruit awaiting you upon arrival. On a personal level I spend a lot of time in hotels for business purposes & to be honest very few of them come up to the standard that Marion looks after her apartment. If I ever had to work up in the Lake District I wouldn't think twice to stay anywhere else. Keep up the good work, Andy & Jill xx
